Shi Lei didn't want to be the one who was eliminated, so he began to observe Bowen, observing every run Bowen in the offense, every block, every passing choice, observing his defense, and observing every time he chose whether to make up for Parker or Ginobili, who were weak defensively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I have to say that this is the most correct decision Shi Lei has made, of course, at least at the time, it is very wise.

Spurs are one of the most demanding teams in terms of tactical discipline and demand. A player who can't adapt to this system, no matter how strong he is, can't survive here, and a strong player won't choose to play in such a team for a long time, unless Duncan is willing to give up his position at the heart of the game.

After this game, the Spurs flew back to the United States, and their seventh game was against the Orlando Magic.

At 87:92, Spurs lost the game on their home turf. Michael. Finley, the All-Star swingman, is still playing poorly. However, Popovich was very patient at this point, and he still gave Finley 27 minutes of playing time.

The tactical experiment failed, and in the fourth game, the Spurs lost even their own bottoms at home, and they lost to the Chicago Bulls by a large score at 67:99.

The poor performance made Finley return to the bench, temporarily swapping places with Ginobili and taking on the burden of scoring off the bench.

The Spurs, who were back on track, came out on top as they outscored the Miami Heat with a score of 103-93.

In these games, Shi Lei didn't get a minute, which made the Chinese media who came to San Antonio completely disappointed and gave up tracking reports on him.

Marketing plays a large part of a team's daily affairs, and how to expand the team's influence and the team's fan base is something that every team is considering.

So, after half a month, Shi Lei regained the opportunity to play, because their next preseason opponent is the Houston Rockets, a team that Chinese are most familiar with, and the home team in our minds.

Of course, there is also the credit of Finley, in the run-in of several games, Finley did not do what Popovich thinks he has to bear in the team, even worse than Ginobili, who has some overlap with Parker's role on the court, so that there is not much point in the preseason to rush the main players. Because compared to the stability of the main lineup, the Spurs' bench changes considerably every year.

How much attention is paid to rockets? As long as you watch all the games of the Rockets in the preseason are broadcast live on the Internet, and CCTV5 will broadcast some wonderful pictures of the game during important periods. Shi Lei is not famous, and not many people pay attention to it, but this does not prevent this game from becoming a "derby". Yes, people like to call it that, the "Chinese Derby". With the help of this game, Shi Lei once again returned to the field of vision of domestic fans.

"How does it feel to be in the U.S.?"

Before the game started, when the players on both sides were warming up, Yao Ming came to the bench of the Spurs, and after a simple hug and greeting, he asked Shi Lei.

At this time, in the screen of the live webcast, there was a close-up of two people, Yao Ming was tall and burly, with a steady complexion, a big brother, Shi Lei looked short in stature, with a green face, like a shy little brother.

"Look, Lei Lei is out."

Shi Lei's mother pointed to the screen and said to Shi Lei's father beside her.

Since Shi Lei appeared in the media reports for the first time in Lyon, France, the domestic media has not stopped warming up for this game, and domestic fans have great expectations for this game, among which Shi Lei's parents are the ones with the highest expectations. Before the game started, they turned on their computers early.

Well, we don't need to say more in this regard, imagine how our parents treat us, imagine how they are happy for us when we achieve certain achievements, and how we often talk about these perhaps insignificant achievements, we can know the mood of Shi Lei's parents now.

"It's okay, good teammates. What do you think? I heard that you have a left thumb injury, how are you recovering? "******** people talk to each other in their native language, in most cases. Hearing the familiar local sound, I don't know how, Shi Lei's mood was inexplicably a little excited, accumulated in his heart, and the depression of not being able to play seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Old problem, no big problem, you should be playing today, right?"

"Little Giant" lightly led the topic away, obviously, he didn't want to talk too much about his injury, but asked if Shi Lei could play.

"Yes, the coach told me before the game that there would be playing time."

"Perform well, maybe it's not a big game, but it's important for you."

Yao Ming meaningfully told Shi Lei that he has been in the NBA for many years, and he understands that the biggest problem Shi Lei is facing now is not how much playing time he can get, but whether he will be cut by the team after the preseason.

The preseason is a warm-up game and a knockout game, and every year, almost all NBA teams will cut players they deem worthless after the preseason.

"I understand, Brother Yao."

"So be it, we'll get back in touch after the game."

Yao Ming exchanged contact information with Shi Lei and returned to his half. The game was about to start and he had to do some warm-up preparations.

Duncan and others did not start in this game, starting point guard Benno Udri, scoring guard Brent Barry, and small forward Michael. Finley, power forward Robert Horry, center Fabrizio Oberto. If nothing else, this lineup should be the Spurs' main bench lineup for the regular season in the new season.

The main force of the rocket is on the court, Yao Ming, Zhu Wan. Howard, Maddy, Battier who just came in a trade, and Alstom, the street ball king.

When Yao Ming seemed to win the jump ball very rarely, Fabrizio Oberto tossed the basketball into Yudri's hands, and the Spurs got their first chance to attack.

Shi Lei sat on the sidelines, watching the game quietly, he had developed such a habit. In every game, he may just sit like this all night, but what if he is lucky enough to get the slightest chance? Reality requires him to seize this little opportunity and try to add points to himself in the coach's heart, if he wastes it, it is likely to be a waste of his already slim future.

Poor offensive ability, unstable shooting crosshairs, no broad vision, once encountering defense, dribbling will become difficult, now Shi Lei, the only thing he can do is to do his own defense.

Scoring depends on talent, defense depends on attitude, although it is said that the knowledge of defense is really no less than that of offense.
